myLaurel has raised $12 million in funding to accelerate its hospital-at-home services for complex patients, aiming to address the growing challenges in the healthcare system such as hospital bed shortages and increasing medical needs of the aging population.
The company provides acute and transitional care directly to patients' homes, leading to significant outcomes including 33% lower ED utilization, 49% fewer readmissions, and saving 3,000+ bed days per hospital annually.
myLaurel offers three core care models – Rapid Advanced Care, Acute Care at Home, and Recovery at Home – to cater to the needs of frail, elderly, and medically complex patients, transforming the traditional care path.
Key investors in myLaurel's funding round include Deerfield, GV, Emerson Collective, Ochsner Ventures, Pinta Partners, and management, bringing the total funding raised to $119.4 million.
The company's business model focuses on delivering on-demand acute and transitional care at home, partnering with health systems, provider groups, and payers to improve outcomes, reduce hospitalizations, and enhance patient experience.
The inspiration behind myLaurel stems from the personal experience of CEO Juan Vallarino, seeking a better way to care for patients after witnessing his father's frequent emergency department visits.
myLaurel differentiates itself as a technology-enabled mobile medical group, providing in-home care with skilled clinicians, remote physicians, and nurses, while putting fees at risk to ensure outcomes and ROI for clients.
The company targets health systems and risk-bearing organizations, offering services that aim to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and shift care from hospitals to the home, aligning incentives through bundled payment models.
In the next six months, myLaurel aims to drive increased patient volume, deepen partnerships, expand to new markets, and build a strong clinical team to support scalable care, paving the way for national expansion.
With an emphasis on efficiency, delivering measurable value, and driving real outcomes, myLaurel's innovative approach to healthcare delivery positions it for continued growth and success in the near term.
